Almighty Black P. Stone Nation

The Almighty Black P. Stone Nation (BPSN) is the most powerful street gang in Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1958 by Jeff Fort and poor African-Americans in the city. Under Fort, the BPSN had a revolutionary ideology, and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan introduced the BPSN to Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, who gave weapons and cash to the group. In 1986, four BPSN members were arrested for being paid by the Libyan government to carry out terrorist attacks, the first case of terrorism-for-hire in the United States.
